We report a simple, scalable route to produce ultrahigh-strength magnesium (Mg) viasolidification of a colloidal solution containing nanoscale niobium carbide (NbC) particles suspended in liquid magnesium (Mg(l)). A single-atom-level investigation reveals that NbC exhibits excellent spontaneous wetting with...

This study proposes an effective strategy to simultaneously enhance the mechanical performance and CO₂ sequestration capacity of limestone calcined clay cement (LC³) incorporating low-grade calcined clay through aqueous carbonation. 25% of the cement fraction in LC³ was subjected to aqueous carbo...

The articles that animate this special issue aim to map and investigate decolonial practices in cinematic worlds from the Global South. Whilst the scope is for obvious reasons limited to only few practices and context, this approach emphasises the potential of these cinemas to ...

Using megahertz x-ray free electron laser imaging with x-ray pulses of ~25 femtoseconds and a machine-learning strategy, we have conducted comprehensive in situ imaging studies on the dynamics of cavitation bubble clouds in ultrasound fields at the SPB/SFX beamline of the European XFEL....

Directed energy deposition (DED) additive manufacturing (AM) can fabricate, repair, and join near-net-shaped components for high-performance engineering applications, including biomedical, energy, and transport sectors. The broader adoption of DED remains constrained by the limited number of alloys available&#x...

Challenging the established consensus around the notions of "peace" and "war," the author prompts inquiries into established knowledge, such as the assumptions of modern political theory, and the persistence of temporalities like the colonial period, through the reiterated pattern ...

We have initiated this Special Issue with the aim of collecting and compiling under one umbrella the most advanced experimental and numerical techniques used in understanding the physical phenomena across different length and time scale during ultrasonic processing, i.e. cavitation, shock wa...
